• Work alongside managers, directors and colleagues across the group to bring in specialist input, including R&D, capital allowances and corporate finance
• Build long-lasting relationships and become the trusted go-to for your clients, getting under the skin of their business and personal goals
• Review and sign off tax computations and returns, supporting compliance colleagues where needed
• Coach and develop trainees, and keep up to date with legislative change so our advice stays ahead of the curve
